Behaviour

It seems that in just released version of Highcharts (v4.2.7) function responsible for destroying SVG elements (destroy() - http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/Element.destroy ) does not work. In the previous version (v4.2.6) it works fine.

Live demos with steps to reproduce

http://jsfiddle.net/d_paul/n1487q1t/ - v4.2.6
http://jsfiddle.net/d_paul/n1487q1t/1/ - v4.2.7

The underlying bug is that the mouseOver event is now fired repeatedly on moving the mouse, while it should fire only one. See http://jsfiddle.net/n1487q1t/3/ .

The consequence in your code @PaulDalek is that multiple myLabel s are generated, but only the last one is removed on mouseOut .
